Trustee Crowley gave an excellent sumoary of the 39th
meeting of the Association of Governing Boards held in Lincoln,
Nebraska on October 11 through 13, 1961. He outlined many areas
for thought and consideration and urged the Board to read the
summaries of the major addresses distributed to all members by the
Association through the A.G.B. Record.
Trustee Pumphret, Chairman of the University of Massa-
chusetts Building Authority, gave a very complete report on the
projects currently in progress under the Authority.
Project #1 - Dormitory A is progressing on schedule with
no serious delays foreseen.
Dormitory B is about a week behind schedule
but with no serious delays anticipated.
Approximately 21% of the money allocated
for construction has been pdid out to date.
Project #2 - Hugh Stubbins & Associates, architects for
this project, are making real progress on the
new dormitory plans. Mr. Stubbins has set a
target for completion of plans a month ahead
of his original schedule in order to allow
as much time as possible for the construction
phase. Mr. Pun?)hret reported that the actual
construction cost, including site work, will
UNyVERSSTY OF MASSACHUSETTS
be approximately $3,600 per student. With*
architectual fees and furnishings, this would
increase the amount to approximately $4,100
per student. With the further addition of
maintenance costs, reserve fund and other ex-
penses, this figure will be over $4,300 per
student. He reported that Mr. Stubbins is
planning on a $15 per square foot cost which
compares very favorably with Dormitory A at
$14.86 per square foot and Dormitory B at
$15.44 per square foot.
Mr. Pumphret outlined the Authority's problems in pro-
gramming a realistic liquidation of the total project due to the
inclusion of maintenance costs and such additional items as the re-
serve fund. He presented statistical data showing the effects of
the interest percentage and period of amortization. The Authority
is currently investigating the possibility of using the services of
HHFA due to their better interest rate and time period.
A general discussion followed Mr. Pun5)hret's report rela-
tive to comparative charges for room rents in the current dormi-
tories established at $200 per year versus the proposed $300 charge
in the new dormitories. There was general agreement that the Board
should thoroughly investigate this whole area with the goal of
attaining more uniform charges throughout.
At the close of the discussion, it was duly moved and
seconded and
VOTED : That the Board of Trustees express their
confidence and thanks to Mr. Pumphret for
the accomplishments that he and the members
of the Authority have attained.
President Lederle reported that the Commission appointed
to study the area of trusteeship for the University is approaching
the report stage and that a bill may soon be forthcoming. He ex-
pressed his appreciation for the fair and understanding treatment

that the Commission has shown to everyone who has appeared before
it. President Lederle pointed out that the position paper and sub-
sequent material relative to the trusteeship has been distributed
to each member of the Board of Trustees.
Trustee Whitmore reported on the results of the meeting
between the American Sumatra Tobacco Company and the University
representatives consisting of himself, Mr. Ainsworth and Judge
Blassberg. He felt that, following additional appraisals by both
sides, the figure of $60,000 arrived at on November 17, 1961 was a
realistic price for the property owned by American Sumatra.
The total package for the agricultural lands now consists
of five parcels totaling over 360 acres and including 4 homes and
bams - some of the latter being in useable condition. The purchase
price for all parcels would be $133,400.
Treasurer Johnson then presented to the Board the
authorizations needed for purchasing each parcel as it was drawn up
by Judge Blassberg. Authorization of purchase for each parcel was
presented and acted upon as follows:
#1 In accordance with Chapter 763, Acts of 1957, Item 8258-34,
authorizing the Trustees of the University to purchase cer-
tain lands for agricultural purposes, and the authority
granted therein, an independent appraisal of the value of

the Housing and Home Finance Authority in New York City. He thought
that the Building Authority had received considerable encouragement
toward obtaining financing of dormitory project #2 through the HHFA
and that the Authority would follow through on the application pro-
cedure.
Mr. Pumphret distributed estimates of total costs of
project #2 for both public bond issues and the HHFA financing. He
reported that HHFA has the distinct advantage of lower total costs
due to better interest rates and a longer amortization period. The
disadvantage of the HHFA plan was in the area of furnishings in

that their financing does not allow funds for movable furnishings.
A general discussion was held as to the relative merit
of the two methods of financing. Mr. Broadhurst pointed out that
the HHFA would allow approximately $70.00 per year per student for i
maintenance and service charges versus about $17.00 available if

program should be pursued by the Building Authority and that furthet
study be given as to possible means of obtaining funds for furnish-
ings
Mr. Pumphret requested that the Board approve the Contract
for Financial Assistance as prepared by Mr. Broadhurst. The con-
tract does not specify the means of financing and indicates the
maximum allowable expenditures for project #2 to be $5,800,000.
Mr. Broadhurst reported that the contract is of the same
nature as the document approved by the Board in June 1961 for dormi-
tory project #1 with the additions of specific controls by the

Treasurer Johnson presented the history and usage of
traffic fines on the campus. He reported that since 1958, with
Board of Trustees approval, the Student Senate has been assessing
the fines and using the funds so collected for scholarship loan
purposes. Since that date, the State Auditors and later the
Comptroller's Office have questioned such usage of traffic fines
stating that these funds are state income. The University is
currently waiting for an opinion from the Attorney General's Office
regarding the proper allocation of these traffic fines.
After discussion, and upon motion duly made and
seconded, it was
VOTED : That the Treasurer's Office obtain an in-
formal opinion from the Attorney General's
Office regarding the proper allocation of
traffic fine income and, should the opinion
be against the present usage, that the
Treasurer be authorized to refund such in-
come to the State.
Commissioner Kiernan informed the Board that he will
appear before the Commission studying the proposed Medical School
on Monday, December 18, 1961. He asked if the Board wished to ex-
press their position through him with the Commission.
Following a discussion, and upon motion duly made and
seconded, it was
VOTED: To reaffirm the earlier position of the Board
of Trustees that it was in favor of a four-
year institution located in the Boston area
and to instruct Dr. Kiernan to report this
position to the Commission.

Mr. Broadhurst, as counsel for the Board of Trustees,
then presented a summation of his findings on the personnel actions
pending before the Board. Mr. Broadhurst outlined the background
for the actions and gave a very concise presentation of his find-
ings. He stated that the presentation was for information only and
that he plans to proceed with further definitive action. The
Chairman complimented Mr. Broadhurst on the clarity of his pre-
sentation and, after a brief discussion by the Board, Mr. Broadhurst
excused himself from the meeting.
Trustee Haigis, Chairman of the Faculty and Program of
Study Committee, reported on the informal meeting held at the Uni-
versity on Friday, January 12, 1962. He said that, although a
quorum was not present, it was an excellent meeting and gave the
committee an opportunity to meet with the representatives of the
Academic Long-Range Planning Committee and to have a thorough
discussion of the courses and programs of study presented to them.
Due to the lack of a quorum, no specific action could be
taken by the committee and no formal recommendations can be pre-
sented to the Board. Mr. Haigis pointed out that the minutes of
2329
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
the meeting, plus the material under discussion, have been distri-
buted to each Board member and asked that they study the material
and consider it at the next Board of Trustees meeting. It was his
hope that the Board could then take action without necessitating an
interim meeting of the Committee on Faculty and Program of Study.
As an additional item, Trustee Haigis reported that the j Polymer
i Research
Polymer Research Institute was off to a good start having had an Institute
excellent meeting at the University on Saturday, January 13, 1962.
There was a good attendance of an excellent group of people for the
symposium and he felt that there is every indication of the Polymer
Institute developing into a real asset not only to the University
but to the area as a whole.
Due to the confidential nature of the material covered
during discussion of candidates for honorary degrees and upon motion
duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED: That the Board of Trustees go into Executive
session for the consideration of the item on
the agenda for honorary degrees.
After the executive session, the Chairman called upon
President Lederle to present the material for the proposed naming
of Dormitory A, to be completed under the University of Massachu-
setts Building Authority. The President told the Board that he felt;
it an honor to be able to present to them the suggestion of naming
Dormitory A in recognition of Representative Edwin D. (Pat) Gorman,
who had been one of the strongest friends and supporters of the
University for many years.
The Board was unanimous in recognizing Representative

President Lederle explained to the Board the purpose of
the statement, distributed to the Board of Trustees, on student
housing and a policy for off-campus student housing. He said that
this was formulated through the cooperative efforts of the Dean of
Students, the Provost, and the University Master Planning Committee
He felt that such a statement was necessary at this time to clarify
the University's position regarding off -campus housing and the re-
lationship of fraternity and sorority housing with the town of
Amherst. The President said that the town has felt the lack of
such a statement of policy from the University in establishing
realistic planning and zoning.
He pointed out that since the action of the Board of
Trustees at their meeting on May 15, 1956, it has been found by the
University Master Planning Committee, and recommended by the con-
sultant on planning, that areas originally designated for fraternity
and sorority housing, within the campus confines, should be re-
served for use by the University for academic purposes or for Uni-
versity residence or boarding halls. He recommended to the Board
that it rescind its action of May 15, 1956.
Upon recommendation of the President, and upon motion
duly made and seconded, it xcas
2331
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
VOTED: To rescind the action of the Board of Trustees
of May 15, 1956, in which it was voted to set
aside a portion or portions of the campus for
sale to fraternities and sororities for the
construction of chapter houses subject to
approval by the Board of suitable sites to be
recommended by Shurcliff and Shurcliff and
with the understanding that proper restrictions
shall be imposed in the conveyance of land.
Regarding off -campus student housing, the President asked
the Board for their approval of the policy as distributed to them
by the Dean of Students. In this way, the town of Amherst can re-
ceive an official University policy and will be able to proceed on
a more definite plan and program of their own.
Upon recommendation of the President, and upon motion duly
made and seconded, it was
VOTED : That the Board of Trustees hereby approves
the University of Massachusetts policy on
off -campus student housing as outlined in
Attachment A to these minutes and hereby
made a part of these minutes.
President Lederle reported to the Board that the new
position of Dean of Students had not been included within the
Faculty Senate at the University and outlined the steps taken at
the University prior to this presentation to the Board. An amend-
ment to the constitution of the Faculty Senate appointing the Dean
of Students as an ex officio member of the Senate was presented at
the December Faculty meeting and voted by a majority of those
present and voting at the January Faculty meeting.
Upon recommendation of the President, and upon motion
duly made and seconded, it was

of Massachusetts Faculty to include the Dean
of Students as an ex officio member of the

Progress
Report on
Uganda
Contract
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
Treasurer Johnson reviewed with the Board the work of the
investigating team headed by Dean Purvis of the School of Education
in Uganda during this past sunaner. The purpose of the team was to
investigate the possibility of establishing a girls' boarding schoo
in Uganda. The Treasurer also reported that the British will be
leaving Uganda in August, 1962, and the Government of Uganda will
take over from that point. He stated that the contract is being
extended to cover more specific phases of the establishment of this
school. For example, an architect from Uganda will visit the Unitec
States to study American construction and also an American architect
is to go to Uganda for a period of three months to act as a con-
sultant to the architects. At the present time, negotiations are
going on with the Agency for International Development for a pro-
gram of planning this school which will consist of a tv/elve-build-
ing campus. The design and construction will be handled by the
Uganda Government. The University will be charged with the
responsibility of recruiting personnel and staffing the school. It
is estimated that the initial phase of operation will cover a
period of about 8 or 9 years at which time it will be turned over
to the Uganda Government for complete local operation.
It was pointed out during the discussion that followed
that no contract has been signed with AID at this time and that only
negotiations have been accomplished to date. The President pointed
out that he felt this to be an excellent opportunity for the School
of Education to participate in a program of this type which will be
good not only for the school, professionally, but will be good for
the University and the Commom^ealth for international relationships,
2333
UNIVERSSTY dp MASSACHUSETTS
A question was raised regarding the role of the United States
architect in the program. The Treasurer reported that the architect
was selected jointly by AID and the University School of Education
personnel. The architect is to go to Uganda for the purpose of con-
sultation on American construction methods, techniques, and materials
and is not there to do design work. He pointed out the difficulty
of obtaining an architect who could leave the country for a three
months period of time and reported that both AID and the School of
Education felt they were very fortunate in obtaining the person
selected.
The President pointed out that no action is needed at this
time but wished to inform the Board of the progress on the contract
and will bring it before the Board at the time when the negotiations
are more definitive.
Treasurer Johnson reported to the Board that renegotiations
! AID
of the AID Contract for Education of Internationals is now pending. Contract
He stated that this is a contract that has been in effect for some
time but that the scope of the contract is being increased to cover
all phases of the University rather than just agricultural \students
and that some of the payments made to the students have beef^ in-
creased. Upon recommendation of the Treasurer, and upon motion
duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED: That the Board of Trustees hereby authorizes
the Treasurer to renew the contract with the
Administration for International Development
for the program of education of international
students.
President Lederle reported that over $1200 has been re- Matching

President Lederle reviewed with the Board the additional
two items attached to the list of personnel actions as
well as the third item on the addendum to the agenda for the meet-
ing which was sent out at a separate time. He asked the Trustees
to approve an Emeritus status for Mr. Hobart H. Ludden, who was
the first Business Manager of the University having been appointed
in 1952.
The President then proposed the appointment of Gerald J.
Grady as Business Manager to replace Mr. Ludden on his retirement,
February 1, 1962. The third additional item was the recommendation
of Dr. John W. Ryan as Secretary of the University. Dr. Ryan will,
in this capacity, also serve as Assistant to the President.
Following general discussion of the three additional items
as well as the personnel actions covering the other appointments
and promotions, the Board agreed to consider all the items under the
one heading of Personnel Actions.
Therefore, upon recommendation of the President, and upon
motion duly made and seconded, it was

other personnel actions in a list entitled

sity by Murray D. and Anne H. Lincoln, Class of 1914, on Deceiriber
29, 1961. This land is adjoining land now held by the Trustees in
Blenden Township, Franklin County, (Columbus) Ohio.
Upon recommendation of the President and upon motion duly

-bills pending before the Legislature. This was followed by a
general discussion relating to various aspects of these three areas,
It was felt that the University and the people speaking on its be-
half have received a very fair reception by the Commission and the
people working with other aspects of the pending budget and legis-
lative items. It was felt that the Board should be fully av^are of
what legislative action is pending and the status of the programs at
this time. The Board was assured that they would be kept informed
of these items during the coming months.
Trustee Pumphret, Chairman of the University of Massachu- j U of M
I Building
setts Building Authority, reported that the Authority is required i Authority

garding the requirements for v/hat should be included in this first
report by the Authority. Following a discussion and upon motion
duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED: That the President be authorized to develop
these requirements for the report by the
University of Massachusetts Building Authority.
Trustee Pumphret then outlined the current status on
Project #1 stating that both buildings are coming along on schedule
Mr. Pumphret then reported that the Building Authority
had held a meeting in Boston on the morning of January 17th in
which a final review, by the Authority, was given to the preliminary
plans presented, in detail, by the architect. He stated that these
plans include many of the suggested changes and that they had been
reviewed with the University administration and representatives of
the University of Massachusetts Planning Committee. He felt that
Mr. Stubbins had done an excellent job in meeting the requirements
for both the University and the Authority and that the plans repre-
sented an excellent program for housing for the University. He re-
quested that the Board give their approval to these plans.
Miss Schuck then reported to the Board that representatives
of her committee and the Authority have met twice with University
administration and planning committee representatives since the
first approval of the plans, in principle, by the Board of Trustees
in December. She stated that the first meeting was held to move
the complex on the site plan in order to save some existing build-
ings and trees. The second meeting, held recently on campus, was
a thorough review, in detail, of the over-all plans including such

areas as roads, parking, utilities and specific details of con-
struction. Following this. Miss Schuck presented the plans in full
so that each Trustee would have a thorough briefing on v;hat is
being proposed by the Authority.
Trustee li^/hitmore reported that the normal channels would
be for these plans to be considered by the Trustee Committee on
^Buildings and Grounds, but that he had agreed that an exception
could be made since time was pressing.
Treasurer Johnson commented that the recent meeting be-
tween campus officials, Miss Schuck' s committee, and the architect
had been most satisfactory. He reported that a detailed review of
preliminary plans had been made. He stated that some costs had
been pared through reduction of parking areas, some service areas,
and through transferals. He recommended that the Board accept the
preliminary plans as presented, subject to changes as already pre-
sented to the architect.
Therefore, upon recommendation of the Treasurer, and
upon motion duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED; To accept the preliminary plans and
specifications for Dormitory Project #2

Land Taking Procedure
Trustee Whitmore reviewed the total land appraisal and
acquisition program to date. Following the land negotiations,
some land parcels are reconmended for land taking action due to
high asking figures without any apparent reasonable settlement
imminent. Judge Saraual Blassberg, legal counsel for land acquisi-
tion, presented the votes necessary to initiate the legal procedures.

Report of the Trustee Committee on Legislation
Trustee Fox reported that fiscal autonomy for the Univer-
sity and the authorization to proceed with plans for a Medical
School both are now realities as a result of action of the Massa-
chusetts General Court in 1962. President Lederle suggested that
the University should proceed with reasonable dispatch to recruit
and hire a Dean for the Medical School. It was the consensus of the
members of the Board of Trustees that the President should formulate
his plans and specifications regarding the qualifications for the
Deanship and to inform the Board of his progress.
President Lederle pointed out to the members of the Board
that under the provisions of Chapter 648, 1962, the Trustees have
the obligation and the authority to adopt certain policies with
respect to the personnel of the University. Following discussion
and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED : To adopt the policy on salaries and
salary increases as stated in Document
#63-011.
Following discussion and upon motion being duly made and
seconded, it was

University in order to operate at a level which will be required foi['
the 1963-64 year, library requirements, medical school requirements

Commitment to the Architect (Sasaki, Walker 6e Associates)
Treasurer Johnson reported to the Trustees that the
necessary analysis and testing work for the sports facility was
being done by Sasaki, Walker & Associates and the cost of this,
which would be reported to the Board, will come to about $2,800.
The Treasurer also indicated that the main project for this firm of
planners and architects is the performance of analyses, tests and
other services necessary to the development of the Master Plan Study
of the campus. This is especially necessary due to the discovery
that certain sub-soil conditions on campus preclude the use of some
areas for major construction. Over the next year and a half, the
Board will be asked to approve the expenditure of approximately
$25,000 for the services required in this connection.

The Treasurer reported to the Board of Trustees the possi-
bility for the University to acquire an IBM 7040 research and in-
struction co]:q>uter system at a 60% educational discount. If such a
facility were placed in order now, it would be ready for installa-
tion approximately the same time that the new administration build-
ing would be ready on the campus, and it was intended that there be
provided in the new administration building a space adequate for a
computer center. If the Board decided to authorize the ordering of
the IVM 7040, it would then be possible to tie it in with the other
coii^uter equipment at the University to provide a facility adequate
for the research, instructional and administrative needs on the
caucus at that time. After general discussion, a motion was duly
made and seconded, and it was
VOTED: To authorize the placing of an order (subject
to later cancellation if necessary) for an
IBM 7040 conq>uter system, or the latest
equivalent equipment if advances are made

option of the University of Massachusetts
for installation in the summer of 1965 in

sity of Massachusetts campus. This program would be established in
accordance with the procedures outlined in Document #63-027 v^ich
acconpanies and is part of these minutes. The President indicated
his belief that this program would add to the cultural advantages of
the canpus. He pointed out, however, that in order to carry this
proposal through to success, it was essential that a certain amount
of financing be provided in the nature of a revolving fund. On this
basis, the President reconmended to the Board of Trustees that they
authorize the program. In response to a question from Trustee Brett j
Treasurer Johnson said that very likely a trust fund would be set up

After general discussion, the Board agreed that action to
conclude the purchase should be completed and any necessary arrange-
ments be made with the town with respect to the drainage easements.
(2) Doleva property - Trustee Haigis reported that
there was a flaw in the title on this property
that the Board had already voted to purchase,
and also some drainage easements existing with
respect to this property. Attorney Blassberg
recommends taking this property by eminent
domain in order to clear the title.
The Committee on Buildings and Grounds therefore recommended
to the Board of Trustees that they vote to take the Doleva property
by eminent domain proceedings. This vote will be taken at the next
meeting of the Board of Trustees (October 4, 1962) in accordance
with the usual procedures of the Board.
(3) Holmes and Tokasz properties - the Buildings and
, Grounds Coirmittee has authorized the Treasurer
of the University to obtain additional appraisals
on each of these properties, A further report
and recommendation on these properties will be
brought to the Board by the comnittee subsequently.
(4) Wysocki property - the Buildings and Grounds
Conmittee recommends to the Board of Trustees
the purchase of the Wysocki property for $60,000.
The vote on this recommendation will be taken by
the Board at the next meeting (October 4, 1962)
pursuant to the usual procedures of the Board.
Treasurer Johnson presented to the Board the
problem of the construction by the Town of
Amherst of a paved sidewalk from North Amherst
to the Marks Meadow School and the problem of
extending this sidewalk across the Wysocki
property. The town at this moment is prepared
to build a section across the Wysocki property,
but requires approval to do so. After general
discussion, the Board authorized the Treasurer
to represent that the Board of Trustees agreed
as option holders to an easement for purposes
of construction of a sidewalk as intended by
the Town of Amherst at no cost to the Commonwealth.

Trustee Haigis acknowledged the fact that the Buildings
and Grounds Committee recoimnendations were not available
sufficiently in advance to give the Board seven days within which
to consider the recommendations. The reasons for this were beyond
the control of the committee or the chairman. There was general
discussion by the Board of this matter, and agreement that while it
was most important to adhere to the procedure of giving ample
notice before coming to Board action, in the case of recommendation
of architects for some projects the Board felt very keenly its
responsibility to do its part in advancing and preserving the
aesthetic excellence of the campus. After general discussion and
upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED; To recommend to the Commission on Ad-
ministration and Finance the selection

There was a general discussion of the need for making a
recommendation with respect to the plans to be drawn for the new
Poultry Plant. After general discussion and upon motion being duly
made and seconded, it was
VOTED; To defer recoinnendation of an architect

The need for alteration work on the Large Animal Building
was discussed. The Board considered that a designer or architect
was necessary but that perhaps a recommendation was not. After
general discussion and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it
was

The Board discussed the matter of dedication of the resi-
dential units A and B (Gorman and Brett Houses) and the proper
timing for scheduling this event. The President suggested that it
may be a good idea to combine the dedication of Gorman House with
the Legislators' Day. Trustee Fox suggested and the Board agreed
that the President be authorized to proceed with the determination
of a date for a confined dedication and Legislators' Day.

to the future of the program. The Provost stated that these budgets
reflected a phasing out process for the undergraduate program.
There are no first-year students in the program. After general
discussion by the Board and upon motion being duly made and
seconded, it was
VOTED; To approve the Pittsfield undergraduate
program budget identified as document

minutes and to approve the Pittsfield

of these minutes.
The President called to the attention of the Board of
Trustees recent legislation by the General Court (Chapter 429 of the
Acts of 1962) which establishes in the Department of Education an
Advisory Board of Higher Education Policy. Under the legislation,
the President of the University of Massachusetts is an ex officio
member of the Advisory Board. The purpose of the Advisory Board of
Higher Education according to the statute is to review the total
higher education program supported by the appropriation of State
Funds and to submit a report to the Governor and to the General
Court on or before December 1 of each year. This report is to indi-
cate the recommendation of said Board as to the proportionate divi-
sion among the various state-supported programs of higher education
of such funds as may be appropriated for those programs. The
emergency law was invoked with respect to this act thereby causing
it to become effective May 11, 1962. This may be interpreted to re-
quire a report from the Board by December 1, 1962.
For all these reasons, the President presented the matter
to the Board of Trustees as one requiring their consideration for
policy and for procedure. In the course of discussion it was
TRUSTEE
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
pointed out that possibly a dileitma could arise wherein the Presi-
dent was required on the one hand to work for the maximum support
of the University of Massachusetts and on the other to participate
in decisions which in effect might cut back support for the Univer-
sity, Of course, other interpretations of the statute are equally
possible. Further, it appears that the lack of staff to support
the Advisory Board and its work not only complicates the problem
but could weaken the Advisory Board in coming to grips with the
underlying policy commitments in the various state program budgets.
One view expressed was that since the report is expected to come up
with a recommendation for proportional division, it is necessary to
determine the base for this proportionate division. Under such a
view the appropriate interpretation of the statute is that the base
for the proportionate division be the aggregate total of budget re-
quests from all of the state programs. No other base can be
assumed, since the report is due before the General Court considers
budget questions. There was general consensus on the Board that
the major need in Massachusetts is to increase the support for
public higher education. The existence of and broad support for
various private college systems x^hile substantial does not obviate
the need for more public higher education in the state. It is
incumbent upon the Board of Trustees and the University administra-
tion to make out a budget and report for the University of Massa-
chusetts which requests and justifies what is needed to attain the
levels of excellence necessary in the interest of the Commonwealth,
giving appropriate regard to the roles performed by other public
institutions and by private colleges and universities.

Peace
Corps
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
Secretary Ryan reported to the Board with respect to an
inquiry from the Peace Corps relative to training on the University
cawpus of a group of Peace Corps Volunteers. The Peace Corps has
invited the University to submit a proposal and budget for the
training of 80 to 100 Peace Corps Volunteers for a period beginning
approximately October 10 and concluding approximately December 20,
1962. The training would be in three major areas; Physical Educa-
tion, Agricultural Extension, and Rural Development. The volunteers
would be trained to take up assignments in French West Africa
principally in Senegal, Ivory Coast and Niger, The Secretary re-
ported that the matter had been brought to the attention of the
Provost and the Deans of the Schools involved as well as to the de-
partments upon whom the major burden of the training would fall.
In all cases there was affirmative response to the idea of working
with the Peace Corps and agreement to undertake the necessary efforts
to meet this training program need. In order to proceed, it was now
necessary for the Board to authorize the officers of the University
to formalize arrangements with the Peace Corps and to negotiate a
contract for the training program. After general discussion by the
Board of Trustees and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it
was
VOTED; To authorize the administrative officers of
the University to negotiate a contract with
the Peace Corps for a training program for
Peace Corps Volunteers at the University of
Massachusetts.
The President presented the budget document to the
Trustees. The President pointed out two basic assuicptions in the
formulating of the budget. First, an increase in enrollment to

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
8300 for fiscal year ending 1964 and an addition to the faculty of
57. The increased enrollment emphasizes the need to press forward
the dormitory building program. Trustee Pumphret pointed out that
in the light of present status and barring unforeseen difficulties
of weather or other nature, the dormitories may be ready by the
opening of school in 1963. Trustee Pumphret noted the very close
relationship between budget policies and estimates and the progress
with construction of dormitory facilities, and offered to make
available progress report and other information periodically to the
University administration and other Trustees who may be particularl;jr
concerned. After general discussion among the members of the
Board and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED: To approve the budget as presented in
document 63-032 which is attached to and
hereby made a part of these minutes for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1963
to June 30, 1964.
The President called the attention of the members of the
Board to the fact that the Chapter 648 of the Acts of 1962, among
other things, empowered the Board to make rules and regulations
with respect to the operation and control of vehicles on the campus
and other lands of the University. In the exercise of this power,
however, it is necessary to assess very carefully any action in
terms of its impact on traffic flow on the campus, as well as its
conformity with the best legal practice. In the course of general
discussion of this matter, the consensus of opinion was that rules
and regulations should be established which conformed with the best
legal practice and x-7ith advice obtained from the Attorney General
and other qualified sources. Careful attention to the details in-
volved in this requires time, and therefore the preservation of

peace and good order must be assured upon the carpus and other lands
of the University while traffic policies, rules and regulations are
being worked out. As a result of this discussion and upon motion
being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED; To authorize the President to establish and
promulgate temporary provisions to govern
the control of traffic and motor vehicles on
the canpus and other lands of the University
and to inform members of the Board of these
temporary provisions which will be governing
traffic on the campus as soon as practicable,
or to recommend to the Board, as soon as
possible, rules and regulations which the
Board may formally consider and adopt.
Secretary Ryan brought to the attention of the Board the
necessity for approval of a formal statement with respect to the
handling of classified contracts between the University and the De-
partment of Defense, After general discussion and upon motion being
duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED; To adopt the following policy for classified
contracts :
That the following statement of policy and pro-
cedures for handling United States Department
Defense classified contracts is adopted as the
official policy of the University of Massachu-
setts dealing with such matters:
Responsibility and authority for the negotiation,
execution and administration of classified contracts
is assigned to the following officers of the Univer-
sity; John W. Lederle, President; John W. Ryan,
Secretary; Kenneth W. Johnson, Treasurer, who are
designated as the managerial group.
No member of the Board of Trustees of the University,
except the President of the University, will require

denied access to classified information in the
possession of the University of Massachusetts. The
above Trustees, citizens of the United States, will
in no way participate in the administration and

With the conclusion of the various items of regular busi-
ness to be brought before the Board of Trustees, the chairman pro
tern invited into the meeting Dr. Chester E. Cross, Professor and
Head of the Cranberry Station, and Dean Arless Spielman, College of
Agriculture. Dr. Cross gave a most interesting and succinct report
on the work of the Cranberry Station and its relationship to the
cranberry industry of Massachusetts and the United States. The
Board of Trustees greatly appreciated his familiarity x^7ith the
problems of the industry and the overall program of the station as
well as his clarity in responding to questions and discussing the
various phases of operation.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m. Follov7ing the
meeting the Board of Trustees toured some of the facilities of the
station, and were assisted in their observations by several of the

approved as distributed.
Report of the Buildings and Grounds Coitinittee
Trustee Haigis, Chairman of the Buildings and Grounds
Committee, reported to the Board the results of tx-jo meetings held by
the Trustee Committee - one with Dean Pietro Belluschi and the other
with Commissioner Charles Gibbons, Commission on Administration and
Finance. The purpose of the meeting with Dean Belluschi was to
focus on overall plans for canpus environment and to discuss with
the Dean specific recommendations of architects for some projects
now authorized. Dean Belluschi said that a public institution
should not be ostentatious because it cannot afford it either from
the financial or from the public relations points of view. Se-
lection of architects for public buildings involve critical
decisions because not only is it necessary to select an architect
with fine ideas and great talent, it is also important to recognize
that one cannot "hold his hand". What is needed in an architect is

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
more than a talented designer; he must also have a sound organiza-
tion behind him that understands building budgets and how to carry
through a project. With respect to new cons-truction. Dean Belluschi,
suggested and the Committee generally agreed that the overall theme
on the University of Massachusetts campus should be unity, stressing;
simplicity of design and careful attention to detail. This means
that even if the greatest architects in the world were available,
they should not be selected each to build a monument of his own be-
cause that would result in a caucus hodgepodge. With respect to
additions to and renovations of existing buildings, the Dean and
the Coimtiittee considered whether recommendations for a new architect
might be made or whether the original architect of the building
should be used. Dean Belluschi' s conclusion was that generally it
was best to use the original architect. Sometimes, he said condi-
tions call for exercising extreme caution so as not to ruin a good
old building by an ill-conceived change in the original structure.
The Chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee re-
ported that the specifications and designs for the Engineering
Building had been reviewed by Dean Belluschi even though the
planning had virtually been completed prior to his having been re-
tained. Dean Belluschi said he considers that the building has
been sensitively designed (the architect is William W. Drummey) ,
and if the work proceeds well and good brick is selected it should
be a good building. The Chairman reported to the Board that it x<ras
the decision of the Committee to recommend to the Board the
acceptance of the plans for the Engineering Building and after
general discussion and upon motion being duly made and seconded,
it was

The Committee on Buildings and Grounds reviewed the design
and elevation of the Food Technology Building with the design
coordinator, Dean Belluschi. It was generally felt that the plans
for the building would be greatly improved by the introduction of
certain changes. Dean Belluschi agreed to talk to the architect and
to recommend to him the necessary changes.
Meeting with the Honorble Charles Gibbons
Commission on Administration & Finance
The Chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee re-
ported the results of a meeting between the Committee and the
Commission on Administration and Finance with respect to the proce-
dure for recommendation and selection of architects for buildings on
the University of Massachusetts campus. The Committee learned from
the CoiiKnissioner that the general policy of the Governor, the
Commissioner and the Division of Building Construction was that the
best architects available within the state should be selected for a
project. The Trustee Committee agrees that \'7herever possible Massa-
chusetts architects should be selected, but in some cases the con-
struction of a building on a university campus may call for a spirit
or theme that is different from that which could be obtained from
2425
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
among Massachusetts architects available at any given time. The
Committee raised with the Commissioner the question of to vrhat ex-
tent recommendations from the Board of Trustees v/ill be honored in
the selection of architects. Coiiiimissioner Gibbons said that he
welcomed recommendations from the Trustees and that before any se-
lections would be made, the preferences of the Commission will be
made knovm to the Administration and Board of the University of
Massachusetts. If there should be strenuous objection by the Uni-
versity to the preferences of the Commission, the Commissioner will
not assign the architect pending further consultation with the
Board.
In the course of general discussion of the meeting of the
Committee on Buildings and Grounds V7ith the Commissioner of Ad-
ministration and Finance, some disappointment was registered with
respect to the disinclination of the Commissioner to agree to choos^
from among the three alternatives recommended by the Board of
Trustees, There was general agreement that the Board and Administr^.-
tion of the University should be most diligent in deciding on
architect choices, and vigorously pursue the matter of having the
architects selected from among the recommendations of the Board,
and to do so by using the full weight of the Board in this program.
It was moved, seconded and
VOTED; That all recommendations to the Commission on
Administration and Finance for architects for
construction on the University of Massachusetts
campus include the full and precise explanation
of the reasons for the recommendations of the
Board and that the communication of this to the
Commissioner on Administration and Finance
should carry the signatures of both the Chair-
man of the Board of Trustees and the President

particularly described as parcel #70, page

that the purchase price for said property
be $60,000.
The Board of Trustees was informed that additional action
had been taken as requested by the Board at its last meeting and an
option for purchase on the total Adams property had been acquired.
No action or vote was recommended at the present time, because the
Treasurer was acquiring another appraisal of the property. The
Buildings and Grounds Committee will consider appropriate action at
its next meeting and subsequently report to the full Board.
The acquisition by the University of land in South
Deerfield for agricultural purposes raises the potential problem of
evicting from the premises certain families that had taken possession
of some of the property as "squatters", never having had any legiti-
mate right to occupy same. The attention of the Board was called to
the fact that eventual eviction proceedings by the sheriff may be

Report of the University of Massachusetts
Building Authority
Trustee Pumphret, Chairman of the University of Massachu-
setts Building Authority, reported to the Board that work on the
dormitory complex knox^m as Project i^2 was on schedule. He said thai:
the architect, Hugh Stubbins and Associates, was pleased V7ith the
cooperation and performance to date of the contractor (M. J. Walsh
& Sons) . Instructions have been given to both the architect and
the engineer to report immediately any serious delay in the con-
struction schedule. Mr. Pumphret reported that the schedule is verj'
tight. The plans of the Building Authority have been made in
anticipation that the dormitories will be put into use the beginning
of the fall semester 1963, and revenue must be obtained from that
source at that time. At present, work is proceeding according to
schedule.
President Lederle presented personnel actions which were
recommended to the Board of Trustees for their consideration and
action. The President reported that the recommendations for per-
sonnel actions were presented in a form departing from the usual
procedure. For the first time, personnel actions were presented in
tv70 parts, the first part being composed entirely of actions simila^-
in nature to those which have been referred to the Board tradition-
ally, and the second part composed of actions in large part re-
ferred to the Board under the authority of Chapter 648 of the Acts
of 1962. There was general discussion by the Board of the policies

Meeting with Mount Holyoke Trustees, Novent>er 9, 1962
President Lederle reminded the Board of Trustees that
arrangements have been made for the joint meeting with the Trustees
of Mount Holyoke College on November 9, 1962. He reported that the
Mount Holyoke Trustees and top administrative officials have been in-
vited to come to the campus of the University of Massachusetts on
that date. The President raised the question of v/hat preferences the
Board members may have with respect to the program for that day. It
was suggested that the Chairman of the Board and the Presidents of
the institutions make brief statements v/ith respect to the next ten
years' outlook for each institution. It was also suggested that
part of the program might involve women student leaders of the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts to enable the members of the Mount Holyoke
Board to become more familiar V7ith the female conponent of the stu-
dent body of the University. The detailed planning of the portion of
the meeting to be held jointly was entrusted to the President.

Limitation of Occupancy of Faculty Housing
It was brought to the Board's attention that one major
problem which was expected to increase in intensity in the near
future was the question of availability of housing for new faculty
members coming into the University community. The resources of the
University to meet this problem directly are severely limited.
After general discussion. of the various implications of the problem
and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED: That, due to the extreme urgency of the problem
of providing housing for some new faculty and
staff who are expected to join the University
in increasing numbers each year, from this date
foxrward the terras and conditions of occupancy to
which a person agrees when renting an apartment
in the University Apartments shall provide that
no one shall occupy an apartment in the Univer-
sity Apartments for more than three years. Any-
one who has occupied an apartment in the Univer-
sity Apartments for more than two years on
October 4, 1962 shall be asked to vacate such
apartment on or before August 31, 1963.

the Comprehensive Circulation Study. The report established that
the Comprehensive Circulation Study has been carried far enough to
make regional and town planning proposals possible and to fix approxi-
mate location of the traffic arteries which would be high-speed,
high volume "loop" routes. The exact location of the route is yet
to be determined in collaboration with state and town officials.
The consultants are now at work on campus traffic pattern studies.
The costs of the program for providing circulatory high-capacity,
high-speed routes will require participation by the state, the Uni-
versity and to some extent the town. At the next Amlierst Town
meeting there will be an attempt to establish the exterior street
lines for that part of the circulatory route to be provided by the
town.
The site has been recommended for the location of the
Sports Facility which takes into consideration (a) the amount of
land required for the structures and adjacent parking, (b) placement
of the facility so that it is convenient to the campus but not
interruptive of other caitpus activities, (c) the movement of
traffic, (d) existing soil conditions, and others. In the opinion
of Gordon Ainsworth & Associates, registered land surveyors and
civil engineers, the site is ideal for this Sports Facility. Upon
general discussion and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it
was unanimously
VOTED; To approve the acquisition of land required
for the proposed site of the Sports Facility.
To approve the proposed site for the Sports
Facility with the exact location of the structure

second semester of that year. The President commented on the fact
that there will be 850 additional students at the beginning of the
1963-64 year and that planning for alternative housing arrangements
is proceeding. The situation requires careful consideration, and
a joint meeting will be arranged between the President, the Chair-
man of the Building Authority, and others.
